Unlimited… my future is unlimited…

Fall is hands down one of my favorite season’s. Not just because it’s pretty much my “new year” or when I’m the most energetic, but it also reminds me of Wicked the musical and this pretty lady.

[ via Google ]

In September of 2009 I saw Wicked for the first time. Then in October 2009 I saw it again for a second time after attending Behind The Emerald Curtain (and meeting Nicolas Dromard). It wasn’t until Janurary of 2010 that I saw it for a third time and pretty much every month after that until they closed in September of 2010. By the time they closed, I saw the musical 12 times, attended Behind The Emerald Curtain 2 times, had the pleasure of going backstage once and made friends with a few of the cast members, some of who I still talk to today (I also saw it twice while I was living in Orlando, FL but they weren’t the same cast from San Francisco).

I didn’t know it that cold September afternoon, but Wicked was going to change my life. Because of Wicked I went to my first audition for a commercial. I didn’t get it, but it was an amazing experience. For the first time in my life, I wasn’t nervous standing up there in front of a ton of people I didn’t know. I was the most confident I had ever been.

I’m sad that Wicked is no longer in San Francisco since every fall I want to pay another visit to Oz, but I am happy to say that (if everything goes right), I’ll be seeing it on BROADWAY early next year! While that’s exciting, I’m more excited to see the best Boq in the history Boq’s, Etai BenShlomo!

I’m spending this weekend listening to Wicked and prepping my NaNoWriMo novel (:

Sock Monkey and high school!

I was debating on posting this today or tomorrow since tomorrow is my audition. But maybe I’ll just dedicate a whole blog post to that day alone.

So, what happened this week? Not much… I realized I haven’t been taking as many pictures as I use to… but then again, nothing worth taking pictures of has happened.

And I still need to post about my birthday, don’t I? Eep.

So class on Monday was the usual… we were on “team gabe” but he turned it into “team hazel” cause I kept getting all the answers right. “you’re getting everything right and you don’t talk!” I do too talk. Just, not that much!

I finally got around to cleaning the area in front of my TV (OMG I can see the FLOOR there now… and my Wii! Oh how long it’s been, I thought I had lost you forever Wii!) and I came across this. No journal of mine has ever been more private than this one. It was my high school notebook that I brought around with me everywhere. I was reading though it and it had days I was missing in my blogs, days I wondered what happened. Days I didn’t want to read about. Days of abuse, of confusion, of wanting to end it all. Conversations with people, with someone I miss. A conversation that made me miss that person even more and realizing he’s never coming back. That friendship, that bond, is gone. It’s depressing, but it’s also life.

And pages with Martin’s familiar hand writing. The majority of the time when I’d be writing in this back in high school, in class, I would be sitting in front of Martin in Journalism with my head phones on and he’d bug me. It’s like, as soon as I pulled out the journal, he’d start bugging me. Never failed! Which is funny because now that I’m married to him, every time I pull out a journal or a book, he does the same thing lol!

I remember him underlining the words but I don’t remember writing this, or why I wrote this. It’s just funny to see us as we were when we just met, when we were just friends and to look at us now. He was always the one I joked around with about killing myself. We were both those students who didn’t really care about anything. I think that’s why we ended up being friends. But he definitely made my days more tolerable at school…. even if he was trying to stab me with my own pens… or flinging staples into my soup… or stapling my orange… wait was that my orange? Or letting me draw rainbows and flowers on his arm and “hazel is so much cooler than me” and wear it around school lol.

Oh I also got a wicked gash on my index finger (on the bendy part too!) from moving books around. Who knew books could be lethal?!

I finally got to go to Target… ALONE. I haven’t gone anywhere alone since Martin came home. So yes, that was indeed refreshing. Oh how I missed that freedom! I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and Target.

I got this little guy from Bed Bath & Beyond! I love Sock Monkey! I have slippers of him that I’ve had for years. They’re my favorite slippers, ever! Now I have him in plushie! Yay!

Also finally got my hands on this!! Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me is one of my all time favorite movies! I hated Goldmember though. My Target finally got fixed up, they added the grocery which is HUGE but they didn’t have ELF (Eyes Lips Face) stuff there yet. Booo.

My damage. I got my birthday Sephora shipment too! So excited! I finally replaced my Lash Blast, I didn’t get what the big deal about this mascara was until yesterday. Got the new Revlon lipstick everyone’s been raving about, but the color I got Soft Nude doesn’t show up great on my skin tone. It’s hard for me to find a lipstick that works good with me. Got a new foundation, I can never tell if I matched myself right… annnnd… I finally got my Cake Beauty Lip Butter in Lemon Chiffon!!

I am the most excited about this!! I am a sucker for anything Lemon Chiffon. Or anything chiffon to be honest! I’ve been itching to pull out my culinary school notebook and make an almond chiffon cake… but in my house, that’s unlikely! Even though I went to culinary school, my dad still thinks my baking will burn the house down. No faith!

Anyway, this lip butter smells exactly like Lemon Chiffon. I may have to get a back up… or 5! Hehe :).

Found these at Target… they’re…. weird. Good, but weird. I also picked up some new Skittles that I didn’t take a picture of cause they’re in my car (oops). Those were… weird too. Would it be weird to do food reviews here? Hm, it’s my blog, I can what I want!

When I had planned on writing this blog (yesterday) I was going to say I started reading this book today. Well, now that I wrote it today instead of yesterday… I finished this book today.

It was a really really cute read. The ending made me feel both relieved but… what the hell at the same time. The story changed obviously but it wasn’t the ending I was expecting. And it’s crazy to think of the ending and the entire book all together. It was well written. And it kinda had that idea that Martin told me to write about but there’s no way I could consturct a book like that, especially if it had to do with my life because I wouldn’t know the outcome. I finished this book wanting to know more, what else happened? I love when a book does that but at the same time… it’s frustrating lol.

Review on this soon! I need to sort my feelings and thoughts towards it first lol.’

It feels like one of those days I’d be sleeping in my stuffy Journalism class. I guess listening to Linkin Park kinda helped that feeling :). Never thought I’d be married to Martin. Crazy. I’d always tell him “I’ll feel sorry for your future wife” when he’d tell me the most off the wall things… and you know… I do feel sorry for his wife LOL!

CONVO OF THE WEEK:
Me: I would totally try to drive through SF again to see Wicked. Even if I crashed, it would be totally worth it. See now THAT’S PASSION!
JD: Determination. WATCH WICKED OR DIE TRYING!
Me: YES. THAT is going on my profile!

Damn when was the last time I had a “convo of the…”?

A week full of sick!

I thought I’d have more pictures to share this week, but I guess I don’t! I was pretty much sick all week. I’m feelingĀ  a lot better today, but I still have this really icky cough.

Last Sunday husband came over and we sat around and watched movies. At Chicken Noodle Soup and relaxed.

Also tore open the Williams-Sonoma Easter sour bunny gummies! I love these! I tried them last year and fell in love! I only like the lime ones though. They’re so sour and chewy and OMG. Delicious!

I also finally finished Stealing Heaven by Elizabeth Scott. This was such a good read! I still have to do a review on this. I just hate how when I read a good book, I postpone reviews because I never think it’ll do it enough justice. But this was a really good book and I’m now a huge fan of Elizabeth Scott’s writing!

Monday was our last day of our first class at University of Phoenix. I don’t have a picture of the spread of food we had, and man we had a lot but I do have a picture of our plates on my twitpic. Featuring Kai’s delicious Cookies & Cream cupcakes. They were delicious! They were moist, the frosting was amazing and there was half an oreo under the cupcake! Impressive! Sad to be leaving GEN/195, I liked our teacher and the class was pretty laid back. Now tomorrow we’re starting a new class!

Tuesday I wasn’t feeling too well, I thought it was the birth control I started taking again to regulate my period, but whatever it was… I just wasn’t feeling well at all. We went to the bank and ran some errands before class. Husband took me to The Grocery Outlet since I’ve never been there and he swore they sold MRE’s there. Well they didn’t, but I did discover these…

OMGOMGOMG! I haven’t seen these since the 90′s! Viennetta ice cream cake was my favorite FAVORITE ice cream cake when I was a child. Seriously, I LOVED this stuff! I can’t believe I forgot about it! I hate how they don’t sell these in grocery stores anymore! I was seriously freaking out. Everything in The Grocery Outlet was amazingly cheap. Stuff I normally pay $5 for! They don’t have a super large selection but they do have a lot of really good stuff there including this! OMG. When I get better! So going back to get a bunch of these!!

After class, we headed over to Borders so I could buy The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott.

She’s holding a contest/giveaway on her blog. If you send her a picture of your purchased book and receipt, she sends you an additional novel for free! I just got my additional novel in yesterday, haven’t opened it yet so I don’t know what it is!

Wednesday I stayed home and ate my “I’m sick” comfort food: KFC Chicken Pot Pie. Fevers, aches, headaches, not fun.

Thursday Skipped class to go to the hospital and thank goodness it isn’t Strep Throat! The day was filled with naps, soup and apple juice.

Sorry, not much else is coming to mind about that day….

Friday was spent at home relaxing on my own and doing Follow Friday which I’m starting to think is a bad idea… I do all these Follow Friday‘s and I get all these “followers” but hardly anyone ever comments after that Friday. I want people to follow my blog because they actually like my blog, not because I was on some blog hop list!

Some new books. Thank goodness Amazon accepts paypal, it’s all I got right now! Whew. I’ve been itching for Wake for awhile now. I’m excited to read these! My husband just got my order in from Amazon for my birthday gift books, I don’t know how he’s going to wrap them… my OCD anxiety goes nuts every time I think about it. Gah! OCD seriously just makes my life SO much more worse. Drives me insane.

Saturday I was up early to catch Wicked at my mall. They were having a performance at 11AM, so I dragged myself out of bed only to find out that… they only sang two songs “Wizard & I” and “For Good” and they were two people I’ve never seen before, so I’m going to assume understudies? But they had amazing voices! I was disappointed it wasn’t longer and they didn’t perform any other songs… so we went to Panera after and had lunch then back home to go to Target so I could get husband some Rice Crackers and get me some Tylenol. I was singing and acting out “The Wizard & I” at Target cause I was just so deliriously sick at that point. Good thing my husband doesn’t get embarrassed by the things I do and good thing there wasn’t anyone really there at 1PM. Or maybe I was just too into my own little world… whatever! I got the Tylenol Cold with Cool Burst like I mentioned in my review.

Also, I finally finished my LUSH Snow Fairy body wash!

Thank goodness!! Towards the end, I really hated the smell of this thing! I think I’ll do a review on here later… if not check my beauty blog for a review there!

Sunday which is today, is spent catching up on blogs, doing laundry, trying to feel better before class tomorrow and hopefully doing some cleaning. I’m going to start reading The Unwritten Rule today, I’ve been putting it off because of my OCD. Ugh. Lame lame lame!

Song of the week: Lady In My Life by Michael Jackson.

This passed week…

I cant believe I didnt update on anything new from last week! So I’m going to do it today, and with pictures. Because I havent posted a post with pictures in awhile (sorry about that! As you can tell, it’s been a bit crazy over here)!

So last Tuesday, we went into Sprint looking at phone’s. I had a question actually, I dont remember exactly why we were there… but anyway, we ended up switching providers! So yes, I finally got my Palm Pixi! I am in love with it. Seriously, I’m always on my phone now. I totally forgot I still have my T-Mobile Sidekick lol! So yes, Tuesday was a good day :). Husband also switched with me, he got the HTC Hero. I’m jealous over how many more apps the Hero has, but I hate the way the phone looks. I’m not a fan of bulky PDA’s with huge screen and touchscreen keyboards. Oh, I also got Panera Bread for dinner. I destroyed that dinner quicker than I usually do lol!

Earlyyy wake up call!

Martin called me all morning this morning for someĀ referenceĀ information. He called me several times actually and I fell asleep between calls. I think I answered one of the questions he asked me with my eyes still closed and my head still under the blanket followed by a mumbled “okay yeah I’ll get it. K love you bye” and rolled over, called the school, asked for the info, wrote it down all with my eyes closed. I knew having a notebook next to my pillow would be handy some day. During the calls when I was more awake however, we got to talk for a bit. Not about much because I didnt know what kind of time limit we were on.

But I did mange to ask what Marissa was going to wear to the wedding, tell him about my page rate, and a bunch of other things. I think I covered the important things this time. The rest of the small talk was a blur because like I said (or hinted) I wasnt completely awake during these calls. It was nice to hear his voice on the other line, for a few hours it felt like he was home and everything was normal again.

He called again around noon saying it was his last call of the day and to say thank you for getting him the info and to tell Boq he loves him (which I thought was super cute). I told him when he comes home hes gonna have to tame him cause hes so jumpy. I also gave him a big kiss on the phone and he laughed. I’m glad he smiled, he needs to start smiling/laughing more often on the phone! I’m tired of these sad phone calls! Goodness.

I kept telling myself all day I was going to clean my room.

I didnt.

Did you expect it?

I did LOL!

I just emailed Nicolas Dromard (Fiyero for the Wicked SF production) a rather huge request, I hope he approves my request! Not saying what it is just yet, but its a gift. For someone :)

I’ve been bugging Nicolas for the last few days lol! At least he’ll know who I am when I go see Wicked for the 3rd time haha!

I registered a new domain. Since I have unlimited hosting, just to test it out. So I registered it and I was all excited and I was like and then what lol! Its still processing, so we’ll see! I saw that I could renew my domain for $10/year and I got excited til I realized it was just to register to host was wayy more than that lol! Darn, you fooled me again!

I think I’m actually going to keep this one, instead of re-registering a new one all the time. I need to stick with one, for once. We’ll see how that goes.

Hopefully cleaning tomorrow!! Hopefully.

Oh! I got the Wicked site up, and some content up. I like the layout but I’m not happy with the content. Its gonna take some getting use to/work. But I think I’ll get it. Or I’ll try to, I’ll post a link if anyone’s interested (does anyone read this?!) lol.
